2 Our mission Our mission is to drive ICT and online services by world-class customer intimacy and operational excellence.

3 Preventing a climate crise We are at a crossroads and about to enter a climate crise Maapallon lämpötilanmuutos (verrattuna esiteolliseen aikaan) 0 C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 C Ruoka Mahdollisesti nouseva tuotto eräillä korkeiden leveysasteiden alueilla Vähenevät sadot, erityisesti kehitysmaissa Vähenevä tuotto monilla kehittyneillä alueilla EU climate target: CO2- emissions -20 % by 2020 Vesi Pienet vuoristojäätiköt häviävät vedensaanti uhattuna monilla alueilla Merkittävä veden saannin vähentyminen monilla alueilla, mm. Välimeren ympäristössä ja Etelä-Afrikassa Merenpinnan nousu uhkaa suuria rannikkokaupunkeja Ekosysteemit Laajoja vaurioita koralliriutoilla Lajien kuoleminen sukupuuttoon yleistyy Äärimmäiset sääilmiöt Myrskyt, metsäpalot, kuivuus, tulvat ja helleaallot voimistuvat Äkilliset ja peruuttamattomat muutokset Ilmastojärjestelmän äkillisten laaja-alaisten muutosten ja vaarallisten palauteilmiöiden riski kasvaa

4 CO2 Emissions in Finland Energy 81% 3% 7% Waste Agriculture Industrial processes 9%

5 Carbon footprint of ICT Valmistus Käyttö 2% of total CO2 emissions - same as flight traffic 3-4% increase

6 Carbon footprint by sectors Computers & devices Data Centers Telecom

7 ICT creating a low carbon society ICT solutions could deliver savings which are 15 % of all greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 Traffic Buildings Grids Industry Finnish ministry of transport and communications report assessed ICT s possibilities in Finland also significant 31% 27% 14% 28%

8 Elisa environmental responsibility Elisa wants to be involved in the building of the low-carbon society and in the promotion of sustainable development It can reach this objective by decreasing both Elisa s own and customers carbon footprint with the help of Elisa s services.

9 Elisa environmental responsibility These objectives are reached with continuous measurement and assessment Environmental responsibility is part of Elisa s business potential

19 Customers emission savings from travel substitution Webex and Live Meeting Sample volumes (30,000) of the virtual meetings By default, 30% of the virtual meetings replace the physical meeting tco2 3,9 is average number of participants Traveling behaviors modeling from Elisa s meeting behavior

20 Replacement of traditional server capacity The number of virtual servers calculated Energy consumption of physical servers estimated -450 tco2 Energy efficiency even 94%

21 Emission reductions enabled by electronic invoicing, compared with invoicing produced traditionally The emissions of processing and delivering a paper invoice were calculated using emissions factors reported by Itella (postal service provider -103 tco2 Included emissions from disposal and recycling as well as archiving (6 years) for corporate customers

22 Reduction of Elisa s business travel by using virtual meetings Energy savings of real estate by using multi-space office solutions Elisa s office space per worker was compared with the average Finnish office workers workspace tco2 Teleworking: average Elisa employee teleworks 3.4 days in a month.
